• Rainer Fetting staged himself with great confidence and expressiveness as “The New York Painter”.
• Hat and palette, but also the flow and the jittery colors are reminiscent of Van Gogh, a much-cited role model in the artist's work.
• In 2022, the Vincent van GoghHuis in Zundert dedicated a special exhibition to the German painter entitled “Rainer Fetting ziet van Gogh”.
• Part of the same private collection for more than 35 years and offered on the international auction market for the first time
.

The authenticity of the present work has been confirmed by the artist. We are grateful for the kind support in cataloging this lot.

PROVENANCE: Galleri Dobloug, Oslo.
Private collection Switzerland (acquired from the above in 1987).

“The artist, who had celebrated great success on the international auction market as a ‘Young Wild One’ from Berlin within just a few years, had moved to the epicenter of the art market and presented himself with great self-confidence, half-naked wearing a cowboy hat and with palette and brush.”
Arie Hartog about a similar self-portrait, quoted from: Hier ist der Maler. Beobachtungen zu Rainer Fetting, in: Fetting, Cologne 2009, pp. 17-19.
